I think you'll find Parker barrels are thicker than 25 to 30 thou, unless they've been honed quite a bit. I'd feel better with 40 to 60 only because they're less easy to dent. Decarbonized steel was a Remington term for their steel barrels and Parker also used it for a short period of time. Some think maybe they got those barrels from Remington. I have two Remingtons with decarbonized barrels and shoot nitro reloads in them all the time [ same is true for my Damascus guns ]. The only draw back Bachelder found was " they dent easier", but no safety issues with them.
